2Chronicles:9:1-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon ,
she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions ,
having a very great retinue ,
camels that bore spices ,
gold in abundance ,
and precious stones ;
and when she came to Solomon ,
she spoke with him about all that was in her heart .
*
So Solomon answered all her questions ;
there was nothing so difficult for Solomon that he could not explain it to her .
*
And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon ,
the house that he had built ,
*
the food on his table ,
the seating of his servants ,
the service of his waiters and their apparel ,
his cupbearers and their apparel ,
and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the LORD ,
there was no more spirit in her .
*
Then she said to the king : "
It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom .
*
However I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes ;
and indeed the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me .
You exceed the fame of which I heard .
*
Happy are your men and happy are these your servants ,
who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom !
*
Blessed be the LORD your God ,
who delighted in you ,
setting you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God !
Because your God has loved Israel ,
to establish them forever ,
therefore He made you king over them ,
to do justice and righteousness ."
*
And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold ,
spices in great abundance ,
and precious stones ;
there never were any spices such as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon .
*
Also ,
the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon ,
who brought gold from Ophir ,
brought algum wood and precious stones .
*
And the king made walkways of the algum wood for the house of the LORD and for the king '
s house ,
also harps and stringed instruments for singers ;
and there were none such as these seen before in the land of Judah .
*
Now King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all she desired ,
whatever she asked ,
much more than she had brought to the king .
So she turned and went to her own country ,
she and her servants .
